Seeing You
Let me catch sight of you in this
life and in others, where your face
hovers in the spring, summer,
autumn and winter, when your black
eyes twinkle along the curved
words I have found again in this life.
Let me catch sight of you in the
morning, noon, afternoon and evening,
for I shall hear your laughter along
the sidewalks and around the morning
markets, feel your hair’s fragrance
once, and never stray away from you again.
Let me see you appear calmly and
brightly in every thought, in every short
breath, in every long breath, and in every
pulse of my heart – intrinsically, calmly and brightly.
